What do you think of Clint and Lily's story so far?
YES! Success! Lily finally agreed to go out with me, but now I need to convince Anders to let me spar with her and I have to tell him why Calista won’t go out with him. I’ve never hated my reputation as much as I do right now. I wait until I see Lily grab her clothes and walk into her house before jogging back to the packhouse. It’s dinner time and I divert up to my room to take a quick shower before heading down to the main dining hall where most of the pack house eats as well as many other pack members that come here after training. I find Anders sitting with his parents and the Beta family. Charles is Calvin’s son and has been training to be Anders Beta since I got my Guardian spirit at 10. He’ll make a good Beta for Anders. I grab some food and take a seat across from Anders, saying hello to everyone at the table. “So, how’d it go?” He asks me, referencing my escape from Jules. “Actually, it went well. Andra was out running, and it gave me an opportunity to finally get Lily to
Every time I think that maybe Clint is being genuine, he proves me wrong. Why in the world did I agree to go out with him on Sunday. What a terrible idea. I need to figure out a way to cancel. I get ready for school and walk outside to meet Calista. “Morning Cali.” “Ok, don’t hate me.” That’s her opening statement. Not a good way to start the day. “What did you do?” She gives me her ‘I’m sorry’ face. “I sort of agreed to let Anders drive us to school.” “You WHAT??! Why would you do that?” “I didn’t have a choice. He literally showed up at my door last night. I thought my parents were going to fall over themselves when they saw it was him. Then when he asked if he could take me to school today, my parents told him yes!” I throw my hands up in the air. “That must be why Clint said something about giving us a ride to school today. Ugh, Cali! I do NOT want to ride to school with them. Clint was already finding a quickie right after training this morning and if we show up together, p
Anders asked me earlier to find another way to get Lily home so he could have some alone time with Calista. Since I didn’t bring my car, I decided that a ‘warm up’ walk home would have to do. But in truth, I’m glad to have the time alone with Lily too. I feel her body stiffen as we walk out of the school. Yes, I’m making a statement. I don’t really care if everyone knows that I’m interested in Lily. In a couple of months, they’ll all know that she’s my mate. Until then, I could care less what they think. I decide to keep the conversation focused on our sparring session today. “So, tell me where you think your strengths and weaknesses are in your training?” I have my own ideas based on the obstacle course yesterday, but I want to know what her thoughts are. As we walk, I realize she’s very aware of her strengths and weaknesses. It’s not always something that warriors recognize or are willing to discuss about themselves. They usually can identify their strengths but not their weakness
I can’t believe he was going to kiss me! Not just kiss me, but kiss me in front of every warrior in our pack? Not happening. I might have kneed him a little harder than I intended. It was a knee-jerk (ha ha) reaction and I know it hurt. At least he’ll think twice before trying to kiss me again. And he’s a Guardian. I’m sure he’ll heal and won’t have any lasting effects that might keep him and his future mate from having pups. At least, I hope so. I have nothing against his future mate. ‘Do you want to risk a run, Andra? It’s possible that Donovan may come looking for you again.’ ‘Yes. I need to train, and I don’t mind Donovan. Maybe he can catch me again and lick my muzzle while he pins me to the ground.” She purrs in my head. Thankfully Donovan seems to care more about waiting for his mate than my wolf does. ‘I didn’t say I wouldn’t wait for our mate. I just said I wouldn’t mind Donovan pinning me to the ground. There’s a difference.’ She says, huffing at me. ‘Whatever.’ I tell h
If Aaron Raines thinks he’s going to keep me from my mate, he has another thing coming. He may not know she’s my mate, but every other father in this pack would be thrilled that I wanted to take their daughter out. I wait until I hear the shower running before grabbing a pair of shorts hidden in the trees for when we shift and going to her front door. I knock, waiting. When the door opens, it’s her father. “Mr. Raines.” He steps outside, closing the door. “Clint Nelson. What are you doing here?” “I wanted to speak to you about dating your daughter.” “Stay away from my daughter.” He says, turning around and slamming the door in my face. What the…? As soon as I leave, I go to find Anders. I find him in his room. I don’t bother with pleasantries. “I need your help.” He stands up, seeing that I’m irritated, pacing in his room. “Whatever you need Clint.” He says, coming to put a hand on my shoulder, trying to calm me down. “Aaron Raines doesn’t want Lily going out with me.” I can s
I probably shouldn’t have laughed so much at Clint. But here he is, this Guardian of Alphas, looking like a big tomato. He did seem very sincere when he said he wanted my forgiveness. I’m finding it harder and harder to resist him. Yesterday at training, I thought we would train together again, but my father pulled me in as his training partner and Clint didn’t fight it. Then afterward, my father forbid me from letting Andra train. This morning, however, my father couldn’t find a way to keep me away from driving with Clint and Anders without making it obvious to our future Alpha that he was trying to keep me away from Clint. Something is off with my dad. I’m not sure what’s going on, but his response to me seeing Clint is excessive and not in line with other times that I’ve been asked out on dates. Even more strange, my father is going to visit another Alpha over the weekend and he’s insisting that I go. I told him I had plans Friday night, so we’re going Saturday and coming back earl
I almost lost my shit when I saw Andra pinned to the ground by one wolf with another wolf coming to attack her. My Guardian’s need to protect Anders was over-ruled by my mate bond's need to protect Andra. Thankfully, I didn’t have to chose one over the other. Anders wasn’t in any danger and Lily needed my help. When we get inside, Patrick tells us that we’re going after the rogues. He has trackers hunting them now, but he wants to take them out. It was a large group that attacked, and Beta Calvin will stay behind to interrogate the rogues that were captured and find out why they decided to attack us. Patrick tells us to plan to be gone for the weekend and I’m not thrilled. Something is off with Aaron taking Lily to the Blue River Pack. I know that Alpha is looking for a mate, and Lily is more than worthy of being mated to an Alpha. But there’s got to be more to it than that. Lily is still underage and wouldn’t be able to recognize her mate. I should know, since I AM her mate. I aske
When I realized I’d gotten out of my date with Lucas because he was going on the hunt for the rogues, I decided to stay in and relax. The bite mark on my leg was sore and the doctor said it would take a day or two to heal completely. I have to admit, Clint texting me and checking on me is really sweet. I had a restless night’s sleep, my leg causing me pain every time I turn over, but I smile at my text from Clint in the morning. I didn’t realize he could be this sweet, it’s nice. ‘Yes, it is.’ My sleepy wolf says, yawning and stretching in my head. I get ready, grab my overnight bag and meet my father downstairs. We grab some coffee before heading out. Since it’s a long drive, I close my eyes and sleep for the first couple of hours before waking up and watching the changing landscape. When we get to the pack borders, my father gives our names, and we are allowed entrance. He seems to know exactly where he is going and we pull up to a lavish packhouse, bustling with activity. I step
